I must admit that I´m surprised on how many people think SMK and Supercircuit are the best incarnations of the Mario Kart series. With the last incarnation that is soon to appear (the DS game for more tips), we will see 8 tracks of those games (4 from each) and I wonder if some people will discover that their beloved circuits aren´t that spectacular when turnt to 3D. I´ve always believed that the circuits in these games weren´t that much better (if better at all), and the main appeal of them was how hard to handle the karts are in the Mode7.

What do you think?

Wait, so you're saying that shitty handling in a 3D scape will make the great design of the original tracks moot?

What the..

I'd say that you cannnot compare any MK in terms of handling (GBA/SNES maybe).

I played MKDS at the Games Convention and its quite different from the N64 incarnation.
It has kind of a big turning circle when you are drifting, but I am looking forward to play the flat SNES/GBA courses because you have to focus on perfect cornering.

We'll have to see.

I´m not saying anything, since I´ve yet to play the game. I´m just wondering if the "great" designs that you name aren´t that great when they turn to 3D circuits. I´m just wondering if maybe they were so damn intense because the controls were much less accesible than in the N64 or GC incarnations.

Just wondering, not stating anything as absolute truth.

It always baffled me how much attention people give to the level design in SMK. I think it's just nostaglia.

-Each successvie Mario Kart has been superior to the last. End of discussion.
-SM Sunshine is better than SM64
-Yes, it is worth buying the new Madden each year
-The PS2 was a better system than DC
etc, etc. cased closed on major videogame mysteries. It's not like personal opinion counts right? There is one truth.


Really, who cares. MK Games are fun.

I read SNK and foolishly clicked on the thread.
